August 03, 2026 // Franchising.com // CINCINNATI, Ohio — This summer, Penn Station Sandwiches, recently rebranded from Penn Station East Coast Subs is giving its iconic fresh-squeezed lemonade a flavorful twist with the introduction of two refreshing limited-time flavors: Blue Raspberry and Strawberry.
Available now through September 6, the new handcrafted beverages build on one of the brand's most beloved menu staples while giving guests another reason to stop in and treat themselves and cool off this summer.
"Fresh-squeezed lemonade has been a hallmark of the Penn Station experience for over 40 years," said Lance Vaught, President of Penn Station Sandwiches. "By introducing Blue Raspberry and Strawberry flavors, we're bringing a fun, seasonal twist to something our guests already love while continuing to innovate in ways that complement our commitment to freshness and quality."
Limited-Time Flavored Lemonades:
As beverage culture continues to evolve, drinks have become more than just complement to a meal, they've become an everyday indulgence, especially among Gen Z and younger Millennials who increasingly view specialty beverages as an affordable "little treat" throughout the day. Research indicates 62% of Americans believe enjoying little treats is vital to self-care.
With the launch of its new flavored lemonades, Penn Station is tapping into that growing demand while staying true to the fresh, made-to-order quality that has defined the brand for more than four decades.
The limited-time beverage launch also reflects Penn Station's broader brand evolution and recently expanded menu offerings. Alongside its famous grilled and cold subs and award winning, fresh cut fries, guests can now enjoy new options designed for more occasions and lifestyles, including sandwiches on nine-grain bread, wraps, bowls, kids meals, boxed lunches, and catering, giving customers even more ways to enjoy Penn Station's signature flavors.
